ARL marks new move toward private sector
A baby girl born at the University's Hershey Medical Center in the 1970s had a problem, Andrew Vavreck told a group in the Applied Research Lab's (ARL) auditorium.

    Annie starts local theater group's fortieth season
    The stage is small. The actors, mostly non-professionals, sing and dance and act to the best of their ability. Outside, crickets are chirping. Occasionally a whiff of skunk wafts into the theater. No, this is definitely not Broadway. This isn't even off-off Broadway. But the State College Community Theatre at the Boal Barn Playhouse is one of the more unusual and fascinating theatrical experiences offered to people in the area.

    Season opener is a pleasant, entertaining experience
    The sun'll come out, Tomorrow! Bet yer bottom dollar that, Tomorrow, there'll be sun! Yes, these lyrics, familiar to anyone who hasn't been cooped up in an orphanage for the past fifteen years, belong to the one and only Little Orphan Annie, the spunky, carrot-topped heroine of Annie, the musical now playing at the Boal Barn Playhouse.
